All that stuff makes Premium 93 look like a bargain.
Which octane boost is best?

If I start using toluence boost then how many of gallon I need to add if I'm going to pour 87 or 91? My tank take about 15.6 gallon.

Home Depot or most hardware stores sell it. It use to be outlawed because dummies would huff it in a bag and melt their brains. Its also one of the ingredients in trinitrotoluene.
in what size jugs,whats it look like???
i have a high performance snowmobile I'd like to boost oct when doing speed runs.
is this the stuff?

Well with todays [censored] gas you don't know what you could be getting at the pump at any given day,one could need premium and could easily be getting only 89,so unless one carries a octane tester in there back pocket to test every fuel stop's octane who knows what your getting,knowing what a good additive is and how well it works is great info IMO.
my self i run high performance snowmobiles that need good fuel or risk a pricey burn down from detonation, so adding a few Oz's of oct boost that i know works eases my thoughts at night.

Its all state regulated re;random pump inspections. So if a station gets caught doing any of the stuff you mentioned,their in big trouble. And they double check the weights/measures etc.BTW Hello Dman!!

My car NEEDS 91 and over, and I am trying to find which is the more economical method.
Filling 91 at gas station or Adding Toluene to the 87 gas.
Pl.advise.

The Lucas contains MMT. isn't that bad for the emissions equipment?
Toluene is what is in many of the over-the-counter octane boosters. You can also buy it at hardware stores for cheaper as straight toluene.
I have bought 100LL avgas for my (ahemmm..., uhhhh) *boat*
at the airport. Kind of a hassle, but it gives slight lead for older engines and does help with octane boost. 5 gal with the rest unleaded premium. Need to go there with my 5 gal gas cans to fill up. They do not like to fill cans. Go at night after they close if there is self serve and you can do it easier.
Best is to just get some 110 octane race gas, but it can be a bit expensive around $10-12/gal now. It is high lead content and is the best solution to me. I only mix a couple gallons per tank of the 110 octane high lead race gas.

One can also buy up to 108 octane unleaded to mix in with pump gas if the heavy metal is not needed (modern engine with high flow, metal matrix catcons).

+1 on what Trajan and Rob said, Torco accelerator boosts full octane numbers. Per their website, adding 16oz of Accelerator to 10 gallons of 91 octane; yields 95 octane. 32oz to 10 gallons equals a 102 octane, etc.
It's about $20/quart bottle.
